Tasty Tuesday – FROSTY PAWS: Watermelon Prairie Berrie


The weather sure feels like summer.
It’s time for some Frosty Paws.
Since Sierra Rose gave me an ice cube paw tray mold from my Paw It Forward package, I asked mom to make
Homemade Frosty Paws.
2 Main Ingredients: Watermelon and Yogurt

Watermelon are safe for dogs.
Just make sure it is given in small amounts as an occasional treat. 
Also, makes sure it is seedless or get the seed out first.

I found out that there are lots of different views about yogurt and dogs. Yogurt is an easy way to provide probiotics for dogs, promoting healthy digestion, eliminating some unhealthy bacteria and providing healthy bacteria and more… Yogurt is also considered as an ancient wonder food. It is recommended to use plain yogurt. Always, check with your vet before incorporating yogurt to your dog’s diet.

Here’s the Recipe … ENJOY!

Frosty Paws: Watermelon Prairie Berrie
2 cups of seedless watermelon chunks
1 6oz of mixed berry yogurt
(or plain yogurt n fresh berry fruits)
Mix all the ingredients in a blender.
Pour into a ice cube tray or mold.
Freeze it for 2 hours and 
It’s Ready To Eat! Yummy!
Definitely a tasty treat that both you and your dog will LOVE.

Tasty Thursday: Apple Cinnamon Chips


It’s about time for a YUMMY treat.
I’ve been such a good girl since my vet visit.
 Apples, Apples, Apples … are one of my favorite healthy treats.
There are many kinds and colors of apples.
Are Apples Good for Dogs? YES
Apples are a good source of dietary fiber and Vitamin C.
Many believe that the Vitamin C can help hip dysplasia,
a very common ailment in large and purebred dogs.
It is considered a healthy snack for it is low in saturated fat and sodium. 
Apples consist of omega-3 fatty acids which provide a shiny healthy coat
and help prevent skin allergies (which I have).
 
 One IMPORTANT thing you need to be cautious in feeding your dog an apple are the seeds. APPLE SEEDS contain trace amounts of substance called amygdlin which is a form of cyanide and it is very poisonous. Cyanide hinders the blood from carrying oxygen throughout the body. If your dog swallows a few seeds, their body will detoxify itself. However, crucial harm can occur if your dog consumed large amounts of apple seeds, A simple suggestion on 
How to Serve Apples to your Dog:
AVOID the APPLE SEEDS and CUT APPLES INTO BITE SIZE.

One last thing: MODERATION
Yes apples are healthy snacks but the down side is its “natural sugar”.
Due to its sugar content, too much of it can lead to weight gain.
Too much apples can also cause stomach upset and loose bowel.
It is also not recommended to be given for dogs who has 
kidney and arthritis issues.(Please check with your vet.)

With all this said … Here’s the Apple Cinnamon Chips my mom made.
 
 WOW! My mom is a wanna be Top Chef.
She made it really fancy this time.
Apple Cinnamon Chips are served on a white plate with
smudges of apple sauce on the edges.
 
 Does it really make any difference?
Mmmm, not really. I just want to eat it.
That’s it! I want more.
Oh! Yes, Apples are YUMMY tasty low fat-treat 
but must have it only in moderation especially when 
I have to watch my waistline (Just like my friend Sammie).

Here’s the recipe … Enjoy!
Apple Cinnamon Chips
1 Apple (preferably Fuji or Honey Apples – great for baking)
Preheat oven 300 degrees.
Cut the apples into bites size (depending on the size of your dog)
(Take Note: do not cut it too small and too thin because Apples shrink when baked)
Place the apples on the baking sheet or pan.
Sprinkle it with cinnamon.
Bake it for 20 minutes.
Let it cool before serving.
Optional: Serve it with (homemade) apple sauce
 
Another tasty treat that you and your dog can enjoy!
“An Apple a day, keeps the vet away” 
(just be sure not to eat the seeds)
Woof! Woof!

Tasty Thursday: Honey Sweet Potato Dog Treat


It rained for 22 days last month. 
Lately, my FALL outdoor FUN has been very limited due to the weather.
To cheer me up, mom surprised me with a healthy delicious treat: 
Honey Sweet Potato
It is a yummy treat that both you and your humans can enjoy together.
Sweet Potato contains beneficial nutrients such as 
carbohydrates, beta carotene, Vitamin C & B6, and fiber. 
It is a great choice to include Sweet Potato in your dog’s diet 
especially if your dog is diabetic or suffers allergies (like ME).
The down side of making this Sweet Potato treat is TIME …
Yes, it takes a long time …
I waited and watched as my treats were being cooked in the oven.
I waited patiently …
Finally, it was done. It was worth while waiting for it.
YUMMY! YUMMY! YUMMY!
Honey Sweet Potato
Here’s the recipe. Enjoy!
Wash and clean 2 large sweet potatoes (with skin).
Boil the sweet potatoes for about 20 minutes on a medium flame.
Preheat the oven 250 degrees
If you are able to put a fork cleanly into the mid section, the sweet potato is done. Drain the water.
Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise. 
You can either leave it lengthwise or make shapes by using a cookie cutter or 
cut into strips. Mom made pumpkins, leaves, and strips.
Drizzle some honey.
Place it on a baking sheet or pan.
Bake it for 2 hrs  – YES, 2 hrs. It makes it soft and chewy
Make sure to cool completely – It will continue to harden while cooling.
I guarantee once you make this Honey Sweet Potato Treat
your dog will let you know just how GOOD they are!
Lots of Golden Woofs,
